Holy Dayze

And another holiday has come and gone. New Years Eve is here on this day and Christmas has came and went. And I can barely even remember it was Christmas as for looking at that TV Guide listings schedule, there was not a single Christmas movies, show or reference to be found on Christmas day. Except for paid programming. And it was regularly scheduled programming as usual from what I saw. And what's that all about, the idea that on Christmas, there are no free Christmas programs to be found on TV. Or maybe I just overlooked them in that tv guide. And "We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. " ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce. And that is an awesome saying to me that I ran across in my internet travels on this day of that Gregorian calendar year. And there are many parties to be partied at, many resolutions that are to be made, and many Auld Lang Syne's that are to be sung on this day from what I recall. What lies behind at years end and what lies ahead before at New Years Day for humanity and the world. Do we all go to that same place eventually, where ever that may be. And it is old long ago. Happy New Years!

Those Eyeglasses


Eyeglasses. I have seen those around. As usually I come across someone who has them to help with their vision. And sometimes it seems as if lots of people are wearing them whenever I find myself outside somewhere wandering around town. And glasses are helpful when it comes to ones vision and being able to see properly. And what about Holiday frames. You know, those stylish frames for those eyeglasses you may find yourself wearing around the holidays. And being that today is one of those holidays, now would be a good time to buy those holiday eyeglass frames at Zenni Optical. They have a great selection of holiday eyeglass frames to choose from for wearing during the holidays or any other day of the year. And what's great about Zenni Optical's frames is that you can find complete prescription eyeglasses for as low as $8.00 at their website. And they have a wide variety of lenses, frames and eyeglasses to choose from. And those Red Plastic Full-Rim Frame eyeglasses in that photo above with that lacey snowflake pattern, well they look like they can add some colorful festivities to your holiday celebrations you may find yourself at during the holidays. At Zenni Optical finding those holiday eyeglasses for that festive occasion and beyond has never been easier.

Unrest


And there is unrest in the world. And I know because there are headlines in the news and sitting in my email inbox seemingly piling up upon each other with no end in sight with titles that read, "Defiant Hamas hits Israel with dozens of rockets, Taliban burning, beheading its way through Pakistani valley, Man shoots talker at movies, 'Santa' opens fire at Calif. party , Clashes hit Athens ahead of boy's funeral, shots fired in SoCal Toys 'R' Us". And these headlines seem as if they want to be endless. And even though the mantra of the day seems to be "Happy Holidays", it sometimes does not seem so happy. As a bleak grim photo of the world seems as if it is being painted between the economy, people who are losing their lives on a daily
basis due to gun violence, that subject that seems to be nowhere found in those presidential election campaigns, an endless amount of seemingly never ending wars that seem as if they have been around since the beginning of time, and a seemingly endless amount of other atrocious and incomprehensible headlines that are too innumerable for me to mention in one blog posting. And are these merry happy holy dayze in this seasons greetings, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year time of year. Are they to be found somewhere here on planet earth. And I wonder if this world that seems as if it is spinning out of control is all part of that 2012 on track thing, or that Kali Yuga iron age descending thing, or some other magical explanation that could be written the stars somewhere in prophecy. And is there a reason to celebrate the holidays this year, these days and times. And it is an observance. Where is the world headed. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

An Athens Christmas




And from what I can tell by looking at the clock on the lower right hand corner of the screen on this computer is that it is 1:02am eastern daylight saving time in that country of America, and that must mean that it is officially Christmas according to that Gregorian calendar, Christs birthday in that EST time zone. And there must be many midnight masses and holiday travelling going on on this holy day. And those photos above are from Athens, Greece, a city with protesters in the streets on behalf of the shooting death of a teenager at the hands of the Greek police. And guns are the worst invention of a death industry ever. If only guns could be banished from every human being on the face of planet earth. If only guns could be banished from every form of advertising, marketing and media campaigns. Is another world possible. And these photos are from a website BagnewsNotes. And this is a website that was sent to me from a friend who sent me some images of Christmas. And that is an interesting website to read. O Christmas Tree. And these photos, which do not exactly seem like holiday greetings, seem to speak for themselves. And what does this have to do with a No Police State.

The Trash Guy

And I just read an article on todays Yahoo homepage that had a title that read something like "Guy does not throw his trash away for a year". And that title caught my eye. And sure enough when I went to go visit Dave's Blog, 365 Days of Trash, sure enough there were photos of trash that was filling up the contents of his basement posted all over his blog. Now this gives new meaning to the word sustainability and helping to save planet mother earth. And his blog is really interesting to read and look at, as it seems like it could be an environmental save the world blog. And I would want to be one of those Sustainable Dave's of the world. And I wonder, as his blog says that there is two weeks left of his not throwing away his garbage, what will happen to all of that garbage he has not thrown away? Will it become a permanent installation in his home? I should read his blog again to find out. And some interesting tips and advice he has on helping to save planet mother earth he has indeed, as I could sit there and read his blog all day. And he is going green, it's the new thing. And looking at all of his trash neatly arranged in his home, it gives a different of the amount of garbage the average person consumes. And it all seems to be about composting and recycling. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

The Binary Code

We wrestle not against the flesh, but against spiritual wickedness that lies in high places. And that is one of those verses from that book the Bible that passes me on this day. And Christmas, that holy holiday of the birth of Jesus is almost hear, and the air seems still and quiet in his approach as everything seems as if it wants to stand still and come to a halt in anticipation of his appearance, or birth, or something like that. And everything seems so much as if it wants to come to a halt that even this blog finds itself seeming as if wants to become blogaholicless in my blogaholicness these days and times, so much that I find myself asking that question "To blog or not to blog" that is the question. And what's that Binary code number system all about. Isn't that what computers operate on, that 10110010010100010111 system thing. And how is that. And 0 plus 0 = 0 as 0-0=0 and with the addition or subtraction of zero there is only zero. Nothing. And with nothing and from nothing there is only nothing. What's that all about. Is that an infinite endless number that can go on and on throughout all time endlessly. Is that some sort of secret code to unlock all things. And these are random thoughts I find myself blahging. Have a great binary day.

A View From the Bridge


And that photo above is a photo of the Manhattan Bridge, taken by a friend and their crackberry blackberry telephone from a view from someones most beautiful loft in that neighborhood of Dumbo in that borough of Brooklyn in that city of New York. And I guess that word DUMBO means down under the Manhattan bridge I think. And it is an artist community of some sort. And those phone cameras can come in handy sometimes when it comes to taking photos in an instant on a whim in these days and times of technology. And this photo was taken at night time as only the lights of the city seem to be visible in that photo. And for some reason, one of the topics of conversation I found myself hearing from several people at this gathering was "I got laid off from my job last week". And is this a topic to be found at many parties, gatherings and circles these days. Topics that could be a result of the recession, impending depression and a tightening economy with uncle scam, I mean sam seeming as if he is going out of business and having one of those everything must go sales. And back to that photo again. That is a beautiful view that someone has from their really big loft apartment that sits right on the water of that East River. And I could just sit in their room all day and watch the ships and the boats pass by right in front of their window as my occupation as a full time job if I were to live there. And I guess the title of that job could be called something like boat passing by watcher. And that photo above is a beautiful photo to me. Happy down under the bridge day.

Big Brother Again


Hey Bloggers, and it's Big Brother surveillance time again as I find myself being stuck in the stone age again when it comes to technology and its advances. And are those technological advances for the better or worse for mankind. And who is Big Brother anyway? Isn't that some character from that classic George Orwell nineteen eighty four book about totalitarianism or something. And so I find myself being stuck in the stone age again, as aren't these days and times the iron age of Kali Yuga or something. And this time it's instant photo badges of ones I.D. that somehow those entry people are able to make with these simple yet sophisticated looking computer machines in those office buildings that are to be found throughout that island of Manhattan in that City of New York, and who knows where else those machines are to be located throughout this planet earth we find ourselves living on. And how long have I been gone that technology and its advances seemingly passes me by. And this instant print a photo of a persons id card into an instant sticker badge from some office building says a misspelled name on it plus the word "Visitor" for such and such an office of such and such a company at such and such an address, valid thru such and such a date. This visitor badge can be used as an adhesive badge or on adhesive badge. Visitor badge reorder from such and such a company. And lo and behold if that door person guy did not scan that photo I.D. into some desktop looking computer machine and out comes a sticker badge with that photo on it within seconds. Lo and behold. And what if one does not have an I.D. at all. Will one find themselves standing on the other side of an entrance waiting to pass through the door till further notice. And it seems that peoples civil liberties are disappearing at the speed of light in the name of security. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State?

Santas In Town

Hey Bloggers, it's that Christmas time of year again. I know because the holiday decorations that are to be found everywhere and all of the advertisements that are to e found everywhere, and all of the toys and Christmas items that are to be found in all of the stores says so. And I've been seeing Santa on the streets a lot lately, hailing cabs, hanging out on street corners and attending parties and celebrations. And where does Santa Clause get his costume for this Christmas holiday season I wonder. Well, if you happen to be looking for santa costumes for the Christmas season occasion or any other occasion, you can find them at Eastern Toys. Easter Toys sells Christmas costumes, Halloween Costumes,
cheap costumes, Easter costumes, Disney costumes, Thanksgiving costumes, pet costumes, children's costumes, adult costumes, infant toddler costumes, costume accessories, toys, and just about every kind of costume one can think of for many occasions.

Those Automobiles Again

And it is Sunday again, that supposed day of rest or is that Saturday the sabbath. And yet I find myself blah blogging away again on this blog. And those thoughts going on to me on this day are, am I still stuck in the 1800's or something when I pass by those nightclubs with bouncer doormen velvet ropes in front of a doorway scanning photo I.D's of customers with handheld machines that can take ones photo as if they are suspect for wanting to enter a venue. And how long have I been gone with Big Bother passing me by with this technology world. And in other thoughts again. Speaking of cars and automobiles again as in that previous post. Am I still stuck in the 1800's of the stone age again or something as I look inside of cars and automobiles and see that there are little flat screen televisions in them on the dashboards. And every other one of those cars seems to have one of these televisions in them built in or sitting on their dashboards. What's that all about? Isn't it supposed to be distracting to be driving while watching television. And then there's that UV ultraviolet light beaming tons of blue light out from them. And are those those GPS global positioning systems that have been in the news a lot lately. Those follow you where ever you are on planet earth tracking surveillance spy on you big brother devices, that can also help one find directions when they are lost somewhere on planet earth. And what's the purpose of those devices again? And do those mini television screens talk to you, as I believe I heard someone say that they do. Maybe they have computer voices or advertising voices coming from them, I am not exactly sure. And whatever those mini automobile tv screens may be all about, have a great television watching day.

An Auto Bailout


So what's that thing that has been in the news a lot lately that along with the economy and the Wall Street stock market exchange seemingly going out of business and having one of those everything must go sales, the three big automakers of Ford, general Motors and I forget the other one, is it Chrysler, are asking for bailout of their debt in I guess the latest of companies to succumb to the domino effect of businesses that seem as if they want to go out of business. And I guess they are asking for a bailout to basically make more cars. And isn't the world already chocked on enough cars already. Shouldn't those automakers see this as a sign to stop making cars that seem to be speeding up global warming, climate change and 2012 on track with their carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions. And those auto maker employers who are having sit ins from being layed off as a result of this going out of business sale, can't they just be given severance pay and the automobile industry close down altogether or switch to environmentally clean fuel such as electric, solar or other alternatives fuels sources that are not contributing to the war for oil, oil and more oil. Isn't it possible to just recycle cars and automobiles, as it may look cool to have a bunch of retro looking cars on the road these days from eras of days past ago. Wouldn't it be safer for the environment for those oil guzzling automobiles to just disappear. And those presidential policies in that country of America seem all the same as if the demoncratics seem to be speaking the language of the republicans who seem to speak the language of the state, and the state of what I am not exactly sure. Isn't it possible to help save planet mother earth instead of asking for more money to harm it and the environment. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

Cell Phones Pop Corn

Now this following video is bizarre to me. It is a video of people demonstrating that cell phones can pop popping corn with radiation.

Born Into Restriction


A friend was telling me abut the situation in that is it a city, continent or country of Cuba? And that friend was saying something about how one does not have the freedom to travel freely outside of Cuba. Once born into Cuba and not having the freedom to travel nowhere else outside of Cuba. How is that possible. And this friend went on to say something about the United States, the states that are united I guess, have placed some sort of embargo, or is that a restriction against Cuba for some reason or another from years and decades ago to where only people with money can leave the country or something like that. And then there are banana boats, crossing the border, coyote slave houses, illegal immigrants and all of the perils of risking ones life to travel freely. And this all reminds me of that photo above, the upc bar code and 666, save no man that he may buy or sell except he have the mark of the beast. No one is free when others are oppressed. And the following are some of those blah blog posts that I have blaghed about regarding this subject in times past.:

And on this day is Sunday, that sabbath day of rest, or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blah blogging away for some reason on this blog. And for some reason that verse from the bible comes to mind, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head". And that other verse, "A brother is born for adversity". And a friend mentions to me that war is a business. Is war a business? And is it George Orwell's statement from that nineteen eighty four movie, the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. And another friends mentions that another friend has been denied entry to that country of the United States, or deported from a country for various reasons. And what does that word immigration mean, to migrate, to travel? Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that. And I have heard horror stories of whole families being separated, destroyed and torn apart from this idea of Immigration And Naturalization Services, INS company that seems to be some form of modern day slavery to me. And what about those visas, green cards, forms, applications, petitions, employment, interviews, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, residence alien from outer space, illegal aliens, refugee, asylee, settlement, immigrant, nonimmigrant, genealogy, nationality, naturalization things. What does this all mean. Are we all not foreigners and strangers in this land. The whole idea that one can prevent another from travelling freely from one place to another on this planet of earth I can not comprehend. And has humanity become slave to computers, that modern invention of technology, to where one is no longer a human, but becomes a robot to technology, a machine, some sort of beast like thing. No one is free when others are oppressed. And so I thought to post a blog entry that I posted a while ago on this blog.:

The Passport

For what reason is the number of that passport immigration law that prohibits freedom of travel amongst humanity anywhere on planet earth, and that Section 666 Social Security Act, cashless society, national I.D., the number of your name to receive any state services and everything else in between thing, 666? Is this that save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing in the book of Revelations. Is this written in prophecy somewhere. Did George Orwell or Nostradamus predict this? Is that a coincidence or on purpose that this law has the same number of that beast thing. And who or what is the beast, and what is that mark on ones right hand or forehead. What does that mark represent or mean, if anything. And what's up with that UPC bar code photo that I placed in this blog entry. And for what reason do all universal product codes contain this number. What the heck does that mean? Is that the number of the beast, the number of man? And what's that New World Order, Verichip and RFID tag thing all about. Big Brother, Brave New World and technology are here and that's a whole another blog posting. And I have heard so many green card immigration nightmare stories about green card marriages, lotteries and green card everything else in between. Of people leaving a country and not being able to return for whatever reason. And the stories of loss of life while crossing a border, whether by land or sea. And for what reason are there boarders, divisions, restrictions, barriers and territories of land in this world. And for what reason are people not free to travel anywhere in the world without the permission of someone else. Who invented this concept. Is it possible to undo this passport, visa, citizenship, where are your papers to come here law so that everyone can be free to travel anywhere in this world. For what reason does this concept exist. And who is a foreigner. Aren't we all strangers in this land. Is another world possible. No one is free when others are oppressed. It is Sunday today, day of God, a day of rest. Or is that Saturday, the Sabbath, Sabado. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

A Place Somewhere

Hey bloggers, is there another place somewhere. I mean, do you long for a better world where people live at peace with one another? a world in which thee is no war, no crime, no oppression. And those words are to be found in that Watchtower publication, newsletter, some article about Noah's Ark I think. And I find myself receiving those Awake and Watchtower magazines from those Jehovah Witnesses that seem to roam the streets of that City of New York and possibly everywhere these days, seemingly in the more downtrodden areas. And these are the days and times of travails, trials and tribulations. And what were the words to that song I came across the other day, something like, "I wish there was a place somewhere, where there's love and no despair. I would not have to be so special, just no more crying and no more pain". Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

This Day

And this day seems to be another one of those Sundays of the week that has made it's way around in that cycle of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and life. That sabbath day of rest, day of God, or is that Saturday? And yet on this day I find myself blah blogging away again to this blog as if it could be some sort of magic crystal ball or something in the age of that internet web 2.0 social media user generated content world that one now finds themselves living in, in these days and times. "You must be the change you want to see in the world. -Gandhi". That is a phrase I just came across in my cyber webosphere travels on this day. And it is a phrase that caught my eye for some reason or another. And I am wondering about those New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority vintage trains that are back for the holidays. Those trains appeared on the tracks sometime last year I think, and they seem to be a ride back in time. And then there's those vintage buses that are supposed to be on the road also for the holidays, so the newspaper articles say. And I find myself on the lookout for them, to see some sort of ride back in time. Have a Great Sunday day.

Planet Earth


And there must be some sort of sky show going on this evening. I know because Yahoo, CNN , Google and National Geographic says so. As their headlines read something like "Watch planets shine tonight", "Venus, Jupiter will shine on Monday night" "Smiling sky", and "Frowning sky". And the articles say that this Venus Jupiter thing has something to do with the crescent moon forming a tight triangle with Venus and Jupiter to look like a smiley face, or a frowny face. Whichever way you look at it. And the articles also say something else about it being a Venus, Jupiter conjunction show that will last for one night only. Whatever that may mean. And being that some articles are relating this planet conjunction to the star of bethlehem not seen last since 2 B.C in bible days, it has me wondering if Jesus is about to return to planet earth, if the anti christ is on his way, if some war, yet another war, is about to happen, or if some plague is about to have an outbreak or something, in my religious fanaticism thoughts. And I always find myself looking for signs in the sky, astrology, the planetary alignments, the stars and the moons for some reason. As sometimes those planets and stars seem as if they cold be a destiny and fate that controls the world, maybe. As isn't that horoscope from those moons and stars ones personality traits. And speaking about, or writing about stars, moons and the skies, what's up with that weather in that city of New York lately. Is it me, or does it feel like summer in the middle of winter. And I see people walking around town with no coats on, in November and now December. And so I went to go looking for some of those Global Warming articles, and sure enough places like Montana, any maybe somewhere else I am not sure of, are seeing summer in the middle of winter, to where the trees are still green, the grass is still green, little tiny insects and bugs, maybe mosquitoes are still flying around. Flowers are budding. All in the month of November and now December. Is this one of those record breaking weather patterns or something. And this all has me to wondering. So which season is it this month, summer, spring, fall or winter? Is this all a part of that climate change thing. Are greenhouse gases going out of control. Is it that 12/21/2012 on track thing or something. Are the polar bears floating on ice yet. The clock is ticking, whatever clock that may be. Mother nature seems unseasonably warm these days and times. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
